The wide-body fuselage requires use of Airframes Alaska's wide-body cabane vee and wide-body shock strut. The boot cowl, floorboards, windshield, skylight, and headliner must also be adapted to fit. We can provide those for you as well.

Finishing Note: Fuselages are shipped with the options of bare metal, prime powder coated, 1-color powder coated, or 2-color powder coated. We use an extensive FAA approved and FAA audited powder-coating process to ensure a strong and durable finish.

Shipping Note: The website cannot quote shipping on PA-18 fuselages. We put every fuselage shipment out to bid in an effort to achieve the best price for our customers. Fuselages are shipped in either a crate or on a skid with metal roll bars. The skid is lighter and usually results in a better shipping quote. The crate, however, offers more protection. The decision comes down to carrier requirements and the distance the frame needs to travel. Shipping a fuselage usually costs between $1000 and $2000.

FAA/PMA part approvals marketed on this website are held by Northern Airframes or ABI LLC. Only those products specifically identified as STC, PMA, or TSO are eligible for installation on certified aircraft. Further approval may be required.
